@TruthSandwich@ChemicalTribe@breizh@BobCollins For fucks sake, did either of you read the OP? Do you have any intention of understanding each other's ppsition, or are you just here to throw mud at each other?
If what you want is to feel good for being right on the internet, and making some "evil people" angry, then sure, you can stay on the level of buzzwords and abstract ideas like "capitalism" and "socialism".
But as TechnologyConnections said, these words mean sth different to everyone, and most people associate strong emotions with them and get defensive. That hinders reasonable discussion.
> claim about how Russia was doing before the ussr fell, ignoring why that was the case
You're assuming everyone knows why it was the case, but most ppl don't. As TechnologyConnections said in the OP, you're jumping to step 8, but you gotta start with step 1.
> implementation is where that gets tricky to define
> blocking someone for calling out their nonsense is quite hilarious
Sandwich had every right to block you. And I think it's not hilarious. It's sad. Because it means communication broke down before the two of you had a chance to understand each other.
@grayrattus doesn't BIOS have keybindings written somewhere on the screen, telling you which key to use to exit it? So it's kinda like getting stuck in nano...
in my case, I was somewhere around 13-14, and my dad baited me into installing a Debian without GUI.
At that time I had barely used Linux before, so I didn't know what editor one would use in commandline if midnight commander wasn't installed. Asked my dad and he vaguely remembered there was `ed` which was a PITA, and then there was `vi`.
So I opened vi. And didn't know how to exit. Dad didn't know either.
wtf this keeps weirding me out about US English: I thought you can buy a house, and make it your home, but you cannot buy a home, since the word "home" describes your relationship with the place....
